Jumbo my friend!
Difficult return home after the summer holidays? Don't worry, we will leave again very shortly.
The following information will mark a turning point for our Community.
Let's make a good start...
1. Real encounters
We have received a lot of Emails asking if after our summer meeting we will have another one in autumn. Well, at that time we believe it is more urgent to create local groups. Now it's your turn: if you want to become "the Nomad" of your area, write to vale@nomadcommunity.org and let me know the name of your town. It will be listed in the site and we will help you organize small-big events before the "Big Trip".
2. "nomadcommunity.org" site
The English and French versions are now on-line... spread the news all over the world, break the borders! The tools for communicating on-line will be soon available on the site... and new surprises ;-)
